National Stamping Month

September is NSM and you know we have to Celebrate!  Close To My Heart is offering a wonderful card kit now through September 31.  Here’s the break down:

The Everyday Celebration Card Kit includes:

  • Everything needed to complete 16 wonderful cards
  • 4 sheets of double sided patterned papers- 2 sheets each of 2 patterns
  • 2 sheets of cardstock, Colonial White & Dutch Blue
  • 16 specially cut card bases and envelopes
  • My Acrylix “Everyday Celebration Stamp Set” (only available in the kit)
  • Complete package of Mini Medley Accents in Shades of Chocolate
  • 5 feet of Chocolate Grograin Ribbon with Colonial White Stitching
  • 2 Distressing Inks in Chocolate & Dutch Blue
  • 3D Foam Squares (50 total)
  • 1 Sponge
  • Full Color Guide that includes all the cutting diagrams, photos, written instructions, tips & tricks  for recreating the cards shown.

I did the math for this kit and it  is really a great deal just buying it outright, let alone if you earn it FREE!   The stamp set retails for $22.95, the Mini Medley Accents retail for $7.95 and the two Distressing inks retail for $3.95.  Right there that is $34.85.  Then you get your 4sheets of paper, 2 sheets of cardstock,  16 card bases with evelopes, 5 feet of ribbon, foam squares and a sponge, not to mention the cutting guide that you can use again to create more cards with other papers.  This kit is selling for $39.95 but you can earn it free:

  • Purchase $60.00 in My Acrylix Stamps (A,B,C, D or E sized stamp sets only)
  • Host a home gathering with $400.00 in sales or more
  • Sign up a new Consultant on my team during the month of September

I will post photos of my cards when I get them made for you to see.

Kids cards

Here's what I did today. I realized after missing two childrens Birthdays recently that I don't have a "stash" of cards for kids....Soooo.... here is an 8 from 1 template I got from another CTMH consultant and I just changed them up a bit. I'll be offering these cards in my class list next month.

Some cards I've been working on

Here's one of the cards I've been working on for a kids cards class. I realized I don't have a "stash" of kid appropriate cards so I thought I'd put some together and offer it as a class. This is using the Animal Cookies paper pack



This card I made using the July Stamp Of the Month called "You've GotFlair" I used Moonstuck paper and also my Cuttle Bug.


Here's my first circle card using the new Wishes How-To Program. I kind of cheated a little bit. Instead of using the provided template to cut out the circle card by hand, I used my Cricut and the Design Studio. I saved the file so if you have DS and would like the file just email me.


Here's a card using the August Stamp of The Month called "Its Your Day" . This is the cutest stamp set for making invitations or Birthday Cards. I just love the different layers of the cake.


This is a card I had to try my hand at. I saw this technique on Scrapbook Memories. The flower and the side flourish going up the edge of the card are Rub-Ons. I used my Cuttle Bug to do the rubbing on. It works great and is so fast. I just love it. Email me if you would like the "sandwich" recipe for the CB.
This card was created using a great technique I just learned from Technique Junkies. I used aluminum foil, alcohol ink and my Cuttle Bug. I will be sharing this at my technique class on this coming Tuesday night.
